A lawsuit filed against the Lake Central School Corp. in Northwest Indiana over its mask policies will play out in federal court.
Crown Point-based attorney D. Eric Neff filed it on behalf of Justin and Adriana Skains, parents of two students in the district; Theresa Ayi, a parent of four children in the district; and Timothy and Tricia Crowley, parents of three children in the district.
“It seems that everywhere America is moving forward and beyond the COVID-19 restrictions that shuttered countless businesses and transformed daily life. Everywhere, that is, except our K-12 schools,” the lawsuit reads. The delta variant of the COVID-19 virus spreads easier and is two times as contagious as previous variants, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Children are being admitted into hospitals at an increased rate as the delta variant spreads, especially in communities with low vaccination rates, according to the CDC.
In August, the Lake Central School Board passed an amended back-to-school plan, stating that masks were required for all students and staff in grades pre-K through 12th grade regardless of vaccination status, according to the lawsuit. The mask requirement would continue when Lake County’s advisory level is a yellow, orange or red on the Indiana State Department of Health COVID-19 dashboard, according to the lawsuit.
